900 yuan for 1,000 words!

When Li Qing finished reading the letter written in Braille, he was stunned, he had no idea that a novel he had written casually was so valuable.

He originally thought it would be good to sell it for a few hundred yuan. A few hundred dollars was enough for him to buy a birthday present.

Now, 900 yuan for 1,000 words, and 18,000 yuan for 20,000 words!

It's equivalent to half a year's salary for my father. And it only took one night for me.

When has it been so easy to make money?

Didn't my father say that it's hard to make money now?

However, it said that he wanted to sign a contract, and Li Qing didn't know much about this business, so he was afraid of being deceived, so he took it home for his father to see.

Li's father also knows Braille, and after reading it, he really thought that he had met a liar, so he immediately dialed the phone number above, and it was a scolding to split his head and cover his face.

Li Qing thought to herself that my father was so domineering, it would be good if I could be like him when I could, but after a while, I heard my father say "I'm sorry, I'm sorry", and then hung up the phone. 、

"Yes, you. Father Li said, "You are still a great writer." ”

Li Qing said embarrassedly: "I just wrote it casually." ”

"Whatever is written, show it to me. ”

Li Qing spread his hands: "It's all sent." ”

"Where's the draft?"

"The draft is gone. ”

"Didn't leave any of them?"

"Not at all. ”

Father Li completely rejected this idea: "Okay, let's not talk about this first, let me ask you, how did you submit your manuscript to this magazine called "Breaking the Waves", I have never heard of it, and if you want to vote, you will also vote for "Bookworm", "Confidant", and "Youth Digest", which are reliable. ”

Li Qing scratched her head: "I asked a classmate who often buys magazines, and she said that it is very difficult for these large magazines to pass the manuscript, and she said that there is a magazine called "Breaking the Waves" that has only been run recently, and the approval rate should be high. ”

Father Li thought to himself that this was indeed the truth, but ...... What does this "Breaking the Waves" publishing house mean, 900 words per thousand? There are only a handful of authors who can get this price from those large magazines.

"Dad, that ......" Li Qing slurred, "Is that what it said above true?"

"What?"

"The manuscript fee is 900 words per thousand. ”

"Wait, I'll ask. Father Li hesitated for a moment, and finally made a phone call, and entered the room mysteriously, closing the door by the way.

After a while, he opened the door and walked out, and said to Li Qing: "No problem, it's not a liar." ”

Li Qing was overjoyed: "Really?"

"Really. ”

"Dad, help me sign the contract. ”

"What's the hurry, it's not like I'll get the manuscript fee right away, and I have to get it next month. ”

"Huh?" Li Qing was dumbfounded.

"Ahh

"Well......" Li Qing hesitated. If he can't get the manuscript fee right away, he won't have the money to buy a gift. He didn't want to reach out to his father, but now he had no choice but to turn to his father.

"How much?" Father Li asked directly. On weekdays, he wouldn't give his son pocket money casually, but today is an exception.

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "Two ...... Forehead...... Hundred...... Oh no...... Fifty, fifty will do. ”

Father Li said: "Give you five hundred, if it's not enough, you will find me to get it." ”

Li Qing's heartbeat accelerated suddenly, he had grown so big, he hadn't taken a huge sum of five hundred yuan yet.

"I lent you this money, and I'll pay it back when you get the manuscript fee. ”

His father's voice echoed in his ears, and Li Qing realized at this time that the manuscript fee he was about to receive was really a "huge amount".

The later signing of the contract is basically handled by Li's father, and the process is more complicated than Li Qing imagined, and since he is still underage, he still needs the signature of his guardian. It was simply unrealistic for him to want to hide from his father at first.

After signing the contract, editor Ye Ziwei informed him that "Phantom City" would be published on the front page of the 8th issue of "Breaking Waves" magazine, and it would be available on the market on the 28th of this month.

Li Qing didn't react much, for him, novels were just a way for him to make money and buy gifts, and what he really loved was music.

Friday, December 17th.

In the self-study class, Li Qing poked Lu Yiyi's arm next to him.

Lu Yiyi turned her head to look at him, but he lowered his head, so she twisted her head back.

He poked her again.

She finally knew that he wasn't careless.

"What?" she asked.

"That ......" Li Qing was a little embarrassed, "I want to ask, what gifts do you girls like?"

Lu Yiyi was surprised, and then the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a playful smile, but before she could speak, someone on the tip of her ear had already turned around.

"Wow, there's adultery. Chu Han looked gossipy and said to Li Qing, "Say, are you secretly in love with Yiyi." ”

"No, no, no. Li Qing hurriedly argued, and the roots of her ears were red.

"Then you say, why do you want to ask Yiyi girls what gifts they like?"

"No, I'm giving it to someone else. ”

"To whom?"

"Forehead ......"

"I can't say it, I know that you must have a crush on Yiyi. ”

Li Qing couldn't argue, but in the end, Lu Yiyi relieved him: "Hanhan, don't make trouble, how can people like me." ”

"Cut. Chu Han said, "Yiyi is so beautiful, there are more boys who like you, and this guy is no exception." ”

Li Qing really wants to refute, I'm so blind, it's my business if she's not beautiful, and I can't see it.

It is said that it is the same when the lights are turned off, and Li Qing's lights have never been turned on.

Fortunately, Li Qing has always been very sensible, and he knows that he has to take care of others.

Lu Yiyi saw Li Qing's embarrassment, and did not embarrass the other party, but patiently replied: "Actually, for girls, as long as it is a gift from the heart, she will like it." ”

"Intentions?"

"Well, attentively. ”

Li Qing grabbed his hair, of course he knew that he had to be attentive, but what kind of gift did he want to give......

After school, after dinner, Li Qing went to the rooftop with a guitar.

After a while, another figure crept up after him.

As soon as she came up, she asked, "Hey, are you ready for my gift?"

"Hmm. ”

"What is it?" she looked around him, but found no sign of the gift.

Could it be in your pocket?

Li Qing patted the guitar lightly.

She was dumbfounded: "You can't be the gift you said, right?"

“no。 Li Qing shook his head.

"What's that?" she asked subconsciously, and then thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

"You'll find out later. In a gentle voice, he said, "Close your eyes." ”

Without any hesitation, she immediately closed her eyes.

"Are you ready?"

"Uh-huh......" she let out a slightly nasal sound.

"I'll be by your side, around you,"

"There will be no going back. ”

"Your every move is like a heartbeat,"

"Pull me around. ”

The soft sound of the guitar slowly flowed out, and his voice was mixed in the wind and reached her ears.

"I'll be by your side, around you,"

"There will be no going back. ”

"Yesterday, today and after,"

"All the way to the end. ”

"Before dawn, on the other side. ”

"Looking at the clouds and smoke of the past,"

"On the cape and on the horizon,"

"Draw a beautiful curve. ”

……

By the end of the song, she had burst into tears.

"How's it going, do you like this birthday present?" he asked, a little apprehensive.

"Why did you think of sending me this?" she tried not to make her voice sound unfamiliar.

"Because ......," he thought for a moment, "because someone told me that girls like gifts with their hearts." I think that's the most heartfelt gift. ”

"Is this also your original song?"

"Hmm. ”

"What's it called?"

"I'll Be By Your Side"

She finally couldn't suppress her emotions, covered her mouth, and choked up: "Thank you, I like this birthday gift very much, I like it so much." ”
